Frequently asked questions about the Skirting category
Skirting — what is it and what is it used for?
Skirting are finishing elements used to hide gaps between wall and floor/ceiling, protect walls from damage and tidy transitions between floor coverings. The Skirting category on Sitypro includes floor skirting (PVC, MDF), ceiling mouldings and transition profiles in various sizes and finishes.
How to choose between PVC and MDF floor skirting?
Choose PVC for moisture resistance and durability (kitchens, hallways); common sizes include 22x59 and 22x75 mm. MDF is better for living rooms and refined interiors; Sitypro carries MDF 16x58x2400 mm and MDF 19x58x2400 mm options.
What sizes do skirting come in and how to choose height?
Common sizes in the range are 22x59 mm, 22x75 mm, MDF 16x58 mm and MDF 19x58 mm. Choose height based on the gap to cover and desired look: 16–19 mm for slim profiles, 22–75 mm for a more substantial appearance.
How to pick a transition profile for different tile and laminate heights?
Choose a transition profile whose thickness and shape match the height difference: the range includes C3 15/45 mm, A3 and B2 38 mm profiles for various drops. Measure the actual height difference and pick a profile whose visible/working part covers it.
What skirting accessories are available and what are they for?
Accessories include external/internal corners, connectors, end caps and pipe rosettes — e.g. floor baseboard corners PVC M435/M502, connector M307 and rosettes M078. They provide neat joints, hide ends and simplify installation.
What ceiling mouldings are in the catalogue and how to use them?
The catalogue includes ceiling mouldings such as 46x46x2000 mm (Exclusive B-3). Use them to finish the wall-to-ceiling junction, hide imperfections and add decorative detail.
How to install self-adhesive mouldings (NIVOOLIIST ISELIIMUV)?
Self-adhesive mouldings such as NIVOOLIIST ISELIIMUV 40x2000 mm stick to clean, dry surfaces: remove the protective film and press firmly. Level any surface irregularities before fitting.
What is the difference between internal and external corners for skirting?
Internal corners are shaped for a tight 90° joint between two skirtings inside a corner; external corners are for protruding corners and provide a neat external junction. The catalogue includes both types in 2-piece sets (e.g. M435, M502).
What decorative finishes and colours are available for skirting?
The range includes dark oak, grey oak, white and black finishes — e.g. PVC RAL9005 black, rosettes HELE Grey Oak, MDF white PURE. There are also anodised gold/silver DIONE transition profiles.
Which skirtings are suitable for hiding pipes and radiators?
Look for skirtings with pipe rosettes/openings such as TORUROSETT M078 18.2/22.2 mm and profiles with cable cutouts. These allow neat routing around pipes and radiator connections without cutting the skirting.
